They built a highway without much concern And we cried for the hills and the trees that were burned Back before hopelessness, long before greed When everything must have been green There was rain And we danced in it There was mud And we ran in it It was wild Deep inside of everything green There was pain That we talked about There was love And we let it out We were made In the shade of everything green We watched as they paved, as they worked, as they tore You said, I have no faith in this earth anymore Sounded like hopelessness, sounded like need I grabbed you, we ran to the trees There was rain And we danced in it There was mud And we ran in it It was wild Deep inside of everything green There was pain That we talked about There was love And we let it out And we prayed In the shade of everything green While stars turn to stardust And angels talk to us The world all around us can breathe We have our guns, our machines and our swords But I will not hate or destroy anymore 'Cause after the hopelessness beyond the fear We'll wake to the magic that's here (And open our eyes...) To the rain And we'll dance in it And the mud Put your hands in it In the wild Deep inside of everything green And the pain We can talk about And the love Just let it out We are made In the shade of everything green
